HK police warn protesters not to charge buildings

HONG KONG (AP) - Hong Kong police warned of serious consequences if pro-democracy protesters try to occupy government buildings, as they have threatened to do if the territory's leader didn't resign by today. Tensions mounted ahead of the deadline set by students for the city's Beijing-backed Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to step down - part of broader demonstrations pushing for electoral reforms for the Asian financial center.
